Abstract:   (990 Views)
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) recognizes universities as crucial drivers of progress, as per the 2015 Kuala Lumpur Declaration. However, graduates often face hurdles in securing employment, underscoring the need for universities to function as facilitators of professional growth and societal integration. It is incumbent upon these institutions to equip young talents with relevant proficiencies, enabling them to contribute meaningfully to their nations. Enhancing the capabilities of human resources nurtured by higher education stands as a significant asset poised to elevate Indonesia's development. This research aims to explore the leadership role within higher education in cultivating human capital and influencing employment dynamics in the ASEAN context, with a particular focus on Indonesian universities. Through a comprehensive literature review and qualitative analysis of interviews conducted with university leaders, the study delves into the challenges and prospects facing higher education institutions in preparing students for the evolving demands of the labor market. The paper argues that adept leadership is crucial in addressing these challenges while fostering innovation and collaboration among stakeholders. By prioritizing the development of human capital, Indonesian universities can wield considerable influence in shaping ASEAN's future employment landscape.
